bye guyss]]

Damien sighed. I did not think of that. That is true I suppose. Fine I will just take a whore. Let Talon do what he wants, let him be happy. You are right Father. I have hurt him a lot. I ask Father, what does his contract say about me? Just me.

He nuzzled against Sikuras hand as she conforted him. "I know. I wil do anything to make you happy. You must be getting tired. It is very late. Shall I tuck you in? I shall watch over you."

Her eyes went to his as she smiled and nodded. "I know you will, my loving Damien." Sikura took off her shoes, jewelry, and let her light purple hair down from off her head. She curled up on the bed and looked at Damien. "I love you. I hope I don't let you down.

"I dont realy think anyone wants to dance!" zeak stated as he was dragged down the stepps and onto the main floor. He allowed Penelope to direct him away from the giant three headded snake tailed beast dog of hell. "I dont think its going to bother you Princess!" He said as she stayed close and used him as a sheld.

"Its just scarry!" Penelop said as she looks shiely up at the man. He gave her a smile and placed a hand on her head. "Your still very sleepy arnt you my lady!?" Zeak asked seeing that she had begun to develop bags under her pretty blue eyes. He watched as she shook her head and clung to him.

"Theirs no way i could sleep knowing my baby brother is comming!" She said a smile appering on her face. This made Zeak chuckle.

"In any case You should rest, youve been though alot, and so much has happened." he said. "you also have to convince your father remember!?" he asked a smile creeping to his face.

"Ah, yes... well i think i should get some rest!" She said suddenly before giving a small laugh.

'Yes damage has indeed been done to him, and though I wouldn't typically encourage it, there are still things that could be done to undo it...As for your request give me a moment to retrieve it once more. Talon I know you can fully hear this, and I assure you not all shall be read' Lucifer stated and referring to the things that wouldn't be stated being the conditions dealing with Alana, Sikura and Lucifer's own conditions.

He then calmly summoned up the contract once more in a fiery entrance. 'Your happiness is to be assured, your body, mind, soul, and so on free from pain and directed towards him instead to prevent your suffering though there is a segment here that is tied to your human about that so it shall be left unsaid, and to be permitted to be with your human freely as well as bearing a child with her and claim her as your own within a four years time if you are proven ready and deserving of such. The time frame of course was ultimately decided by me as well as the judgment of such to be left to me instead of Talon. You are also to be freed of certain political responsibilities and instead be taken upon myself. There is also the statement under his conditions that you are to be free to decide things about your own life when again you have proven you are worthy of such liberties. In short he is essentially asking you to be free of my rule and happy if and when he carries out his part of the bargain' the Lord of Hell calmly stated. He then once more returned the contract to where it belonged.

Talon could feel himself starting to relax under Alana's ministrations. He calmly closed his eyes and allowed himself to take a deep breath. "In short Damian had told me about him wishing to gain an heir from you and I objected ending in a fight that had Damian in Hell and attempting to mess with my bargain, more than likely attempting to destroy it..." he said quietly. He then calmly thought as she requested that she had made of him. "What that I promised whom? I seem to have made a fair amount of promises today..." he said gently as he felt his body once more begin to tremble as Lucifer called forth his bargain again. It took a few moments for it to cease even after the contract had been returned.

"Tell me the full story Talon. What is this contract that you have that is causing you so much pain. Why is this going on right now and why did you have to confront Damian. You knew he would get angry. Now you may have lost your position as his friend. We will never be together at this rate."

She thought about what he had said about Damian wanting her to have an heir for him. She didnt see how it was such a big deal. She would have a child and then Talon and she would be happy forever but apparently it meant a lot to Talon. She continued to massage his head hoping to keep the pain from shooting back up to badly. She knew if she knew exactly what was going on she could fix it.

Damian gently took the covers and tucked Sikura in, kissing her forehead. "I shall sit beside you all night long and make sure no harm comes to you. Sleep well my Dove, and pleasent dreams." He sat back down.

I see. I ask that the first part about y mind body and soul being free of all the pain and transfered to Talon be removed perminitly and never again be he able to make such a bargain for that spacific reason again. Also, what certain responsibilities? Ones that require I attend all court or something more so than that?

'For that you would have to take up with Talon. I cannot simply change his conditions, he is the only one that can change his part of the bargain. Besides that could very well change some of my own conditions and I am not so willing to give up things I will finally acquire after 200 years of waiting. As for the responsibilities it's more along the lines of those that you do not exactly enjoy. For example this ball was something you had objected to, or those conferences I force you to attend and that you don't typically pay attention in anyways' Lucifer explained still rather calmly.

"It's not my bargain that's causing me pain. Well the summoning of it repeatedly is a bit...painful and unnerving...As for any thing else with the contract I'd prefer they not be discussed. Well mine I don't mind discussing in private, but Lord Lucifer's terms I'd prefer not...They're humiliating enough as it is" Talon said calmly as his eyes closed. He was truly starting to relax despite his decreasing trembling. The physical abuse of the day and the exhaustion it caused was slowly starting to wear on him as he relaxed. It had been a while for him and it was taking a bit to now fight off sleep.

"As for my confrontation with Damian he knows full and well that I will not hesitate to speak up against him. I don't fear him as I do with Lord Lucifer. If the friendship is lost, then it is lost. I will not allow him to use the one I love as a tool to create a child, there are common demon whores for that. The loss of friendship is not something that will prevent us from being together nor would not carrying out the plan I proposed. You and I are beings who are free to be with each other if we so choose. The worst that can be done is Damian 'shaking his finger' and saying no. If that were to occur then Lord Lucifer can easily overstep that if need be. Nothing short will prevent me from being with you then you yourself" he said quite calmly.

Alana bent down and gave him a kiss on the forehead. He needed to rest. She picked him up in her arms and carried him out of the ballroom. She walked past the room she knew Damian was in. She had to talk to him soon. She went into an available bedroom and laid him down on the bed.

"Talon my love you are going to go to sleep. You are tired and worn out. So I am putting you to bed. Ill be here if you need me but promise me when you rest a bit you will at least tell me what has been happening. I deserve to know whats going on when it concerns my fate."

She smiled at him and let out a smile yawn. "Night, my loving Damien." Her eyes stayed on him as Sikura fell asleep but almost wished he was in bed with her. Sikura dreamed they were married and dancing together at their wedding and a tear fell from her eye because she knew, it'd never come true.

Talon could feel his body being lifted, and though he knew she was strong he did his best to use his only unharmed wing, as the other had been harmed by Damian when the first communications between Lucifer and Damian had been conducted with Talon being the 'middle man' and puppet, and in anger over what was said by Lucifer had been sent through a hardened lava field with his left wing gaining most of the damage, to lighten her load. He decided that it was best to speak after he felt the bed against his back and Alana's voice fade once she had finished speaking. "You're fate is still your own my love, it's only been ensured that your happiness and health are protected in your decisions. I still don't fully require sleep at the moment so I would not mind explaining what I can" he said calmly.

She smiled as she mixed a quick potion to put on his wounds.

"Alright you talk and I shall bandage. Also take off your clothes love. It will be easier to fix that wing without a shirt blocking me from it."

She finished up with the potion and set it down on the floor as she bent to help him remove his shirt.

"Tell me exactly what happened so that I shall know."

Damien watched her cry in her sleep and wondered why but realy didn't have time to worry about such.

Why does that have to change anything on your part? It's not like your the one changing it, I am! I refuse to talk to Talon on this matter for he would say no, as stubburn as he is! If need be you can take something from me in exchange although Im your son so you have everything I have already! Or better yet give Talon something in exchange from me. I can't give him my sword since you had it melted down, but maybe I could give him Cerby. Cerby likes Talon enough.

Talon calmly and gently removed first his coat, and then with Alana's assistance his shirt, revealing his well toned and muscular chest and arms. It was clear that his body was physically fit from the battles and training he had done throughout his 200 years of life as a fighter. One hand gently went to the area on his back were the claw of his wing dug in and had to roughly pull it out, which caused a small wince of pain from him. "Where would you like me to start? Before or after Cerberus appeared and decided to play 'pin the Talon' at Damian's technical request?" he said with a sigh.

'That is just it. It is a bargain between he and I even though it deals with you. If I were to change that it would change a few other conditions that involve others and thus forcing about a change to the entire contract. There is nothing you could offer me as, since you said, you are my son and therefore anything you have I already have. Again if there is something you wish to offer Talon that will be something for you to discuss with him not I. You are more than likely correct in assuming that he would not agree to it, but I am not going to involve myself in such matters' Lucifer replied coolly.

Alana struggled not to laugh as she got the mental image of cerberus playing with Talon. She had only met the dog once and disliked him a lot. She began to spread the potion on his damaged wing gently making sure to coat it well. It would keep the wing from being unusable forever but at least for a while he would be down.

"Lets go past the dog playing with you but I want to hear about the deal you made with lucifer. Thats the part im interested in. I want to know what this deal is and why it made Damian so mad."

Talon calmly shook his head. "I made the deal before Cerberus really. You see Damian and his human were unable to be together under Lord Lucifer's word. He didn't, and still doesn't, approve of Damian mating or being with a human. That is when I started to come up with the plan that I had told you about started to form. I took a few liberties in things I had forseen and ensured that nothing would occur that Lord Lucifer could use against the three of you. That is what my deal with our Lord was about" he explained calmly, as he still avoided talking about the specifics of the contract.

"As for Damian it was not the deal I believe that made him angry but rather my own actions and warnings concerning you after he told me his intent while he was essentially crushing me to death with Cerberus. I had already mentioned a bargain with Lord Lucifer three times, including during our verbal fight that occurred not too long ago, and so I figure that out of rage at me he was going to try and break it" he said, wincing a little as his wing was coated gently. He could feel the medicine leaking and burning into his wounds, proof that it was slowly starting to do its job of healing them.

She listened as she finished up his wing. She put the potion on the floor for he would need it again in about 4 hours. She crawled into the bed with him on his good side and laid down cuddling close to him. SHe figured this would make him feel even more better.

"Why wont you tell me the specifics? Is there something you did that you will be afraid I will be angry about?"

She could see he was hiding something but couldnt make out exactly what it was.

Damien shook his head. If I can cause its destruction than why can't I change anything? Im only talking about that one thing! It has nothing to do with anyone else, you just said it! On top of that, why do you torture him so? Why not always talk directly with me? Im your son damn it! Not Talon!

(( wow you guys are fast . . been busy. I'll get a post in tonight though . . still need to read everything . . you ninjas!))

(Lol understandable. XD)

Talon was indeed rather pleased when Alana chose to crawl into bed with him. Immediately he put his arms around her and gently kissed her cheek. Calmly he shook his head though. "It's not fear that you will be angry that prevents me from saying the specifics of the contract, merely that you may attempt to do something...to alter it. I have already come to terms with the contract as a whole, and I know you rather well. I've been near you and watching you for 200 years as a friend" he said quietly as he trailed his lips once more to her neck to continue on where he had left off previously when they had been alone in a room. He also figured that this would perhaps be a good distraction.

'To tell you the truth that was actually a bluff. I wouldn't have actually destroyed it. I was playing off of your friendship with him, figuring that with that you would refrain from your pursuit of it. As for why I do not communicate with you I believe I had made that clear when you asked the same in the gazebo. A connection between you and I is unnatural and consumes far too much energy for such a thing. By using another under a certain power level I can draw off of their powers rather than my own. Even now I draw off of Talon as I speak, though eventually even that will become impossible in time and I will have to find someone weaker. That is why I communicate to you through Talon. As to why I torture him I could very well ask you the same thing' Lucifer said with a smirk had his face been seen.

She closed her eyes as he kissed her. She smiled. It felt so good. She loved to have his arms around her and if it wasent for this burning desire to know what the heck this contract entailed she might have enjoyed it.

"So are you going to tell me or do I have to find another way to get the information I want?"

Phoenix slowly opened her eyes and was a bit confused as to where she was. It didn't take long though till the memories of what had happened flooded back to her. She just laid there for a moment enjoying the warmth and feel of the bed she lay on. She felt so much better and the pain was gone but she was not yet at one hundred percent strength. It would take a while for her to regain what she had lost. As proof she did not even register the demonic energy coming from the chair. Phoenix had assumed that Janen had left once she had fallen asleep.

She went to sit up when she cried out in shock and surprise. She ended up falling back onto the bed but during the attempt to sit up she had now noticed the demon. Quickly she said to him, "I am not in pain, that has passed." Phoenix paused for a moment and got herself into a sitting position using her left hand and leaned her back against the headboard. Now she looked at Janen and said, "Apparently Zenos managed to damage my connections to my mechanical arm and wing rendering them useless. I had been so overwhelmed with pain before that I had not noticed. My father is the only one who can fix the issue but I will be well enough off. I can still walk, just will be unbalanced for a bit is all."

Phoenix realized she was talking a lot and said, "Forgive me sir for going on. I thank you again for bringing me back here and watching over me. I have wasted much of your time." She felt badly that he had stayed while she slept. She was pretty sure that he did not enjoy spending his time sitting and watching over a little angel. Even though she felt badly he had stayed she also was glad about it. He most likely did not know this but by staying with her it had helped to speed the healing process. Simply having another life form near by, especially one that poured their energy in you previously, often made a big difference in this form of healing.

Because Im a real demon you pompus ass! He growled slightly, making sure not to wake up Sikura. Unlike Fallen or even Angels I do not have a true grasp on what friendship is or full caring. He is under me so I treat him with that respect. In fact, I treat him better than that and if he don't like it well then tough! He can kiss my demon ass and worship it! He stood up and paced the room. I mean honestly father, the Fallen are starting to get out of hand. Do they not realize what they have become? Do they not fully grasp that everything that they have ever known is now turned upside down and backwords! I thought Talon would be use to me by now! It has been over 200 years!

(man its 130am here....stop being up late!)

(Lol but being up late is fun. XD)

Talon raised an eyebrow at her as he kissed her again, though rather than the cheek the neck. Calmly and carefully he moved himself so that he was hovering of her, and thus giving him far better access to kiss as a distraction. Gently he trailed kisses from her neck to her mouth in an almost hungry fashion before calmly pulling away. "And just what did you have in mind in terms of trying to find out?" he said with a rather mischievous smirk, before once more indulging himself in kissing Alana, as he once more attempted to distract her.

'In a technical sense you are. You are of my spawn and technically in a way I was a fallen myself and therefore a part of you as well. You do not have a true grasp on friendship nor caring, because I have not raised you in such a manner, as they are things that are not quite as valued in my eyes. However in Talon's case he too treats you far better than you think. Typically he will follow your lead without any hesitation usually. My words on the other hand are ones he has already displayed a rebellion towards. There are many things that I had commanded him that are unknown to your knowledge and he did not carry out. Many of which shall remain away from your knowledge' Lucifer said calmly.

'I will say that I have noticed a rather increase of the unruly acts of the fallen as of late. Naturally of course your still grouping Talon into the faction of the fallen when he has rather become a full demon now, something that is perhaps still strange for you as it has only been 150 years since that has occurred. His disobedience and rebelliousness has been stemmed from you however and your rebellion against me and by how it is you treat him. It is because you treat him far better than most and thus he has never truly questioned you that now cause you to feel as you do now about the factor. Another factor is that you are indeed far different from how you were when he had last seen you. Before you would never had fought this hard to gain a mere human as your mate as you do now. In fact I believe he has already mentioned to you that you appeared changed to him' the Lord of Hell replied and leaned back in his throne. Again he was fully aware the said bat demon could hear his words, but he appeared to be a bit preoccupied with his own matters to care.

'As for those that are still fallen they do not seem to remember or realize their place. As you've probably already seen angel's appear to be losing a sense of what they once were. In the past they were far more willing to fight though intelligently. Now they lack that intelligence are rise up without so much as a plan. The uprisings in Hell are slowly being settled as they are being executed as we speak. There are still those fallen, whom are like that new one...Zeak I believe his name is, that are still rather foolish. I foresee him as a problem in the future, though for now he is more like a puppy discovering his teeth' he said with a sigh.

Janen's head turned as he noticed Phoenix attempting to sit up. He had stood and was about to find out if she was still in pain, when she already answered the question. "I see...I will admit as well that I don't think anyone either here nor in Hell would be able to repair such things either. It looks far to advanced for our side" the white haired demon said calmly as he once more took his seat. He silently watched as the angel moved herself so that her back now rested against the headboard.

"I don't mind. After all Commander Talon had ordered me to ensure you were alright and came back unharmed. If I didn't do that then I would more or less be beheaded, and I much rather like my head between my shoulders. Dying at the Commander's hands isn't exactly a pleasant experience" he said with a sigh and leaned back. His gaze drifted to the ceiling for a few moments. "It's good though that you appear to be alright for the most part. And anyways you're far better than that noisy and incompentant priestess angel. She has far too of a high and mighty air about her and I'm sure if it were her I'd allow her to be tortured a bit before carrying out my Commander's orders" he said gently.

Well if I have changed then I am sure I shall change back once Sikura is no longer a human. I do not understand it myself, Father why I have fallen so hard for her. I did not know Demons were even capable of such a thing till I saw her. I use to watch human have these emotions and wonder why they were needed. I still believe they are not needed but I fel I would be lost with her. Have you ever felt this Father? What a stupid quesiion...Of course you haven't.

Damien pondered for a bit. Are you sure everything is ok down in hell? I could send some of the demons up here back to help. Heck half of them aren't needed and I already sent back some Fallen to you. Do you wish me to send back more? I do not like having an uprising in our own realm. It does not bode well for future plans.

Speaking of our realm, when do I get to leave this castle and come home? Im actually starting to miss those stupid meetings and councils, but mostly the torturing of those who have tricked and disobeyed us. Im starting to feel weak since we have not fought for a while, and it has only been an hour or so!
